please add assert parameters in all the functions so that parameters are checked on compile time.

not a big issue but can be done in the end possibly

make some macro or some pre processor function that checks whether the call parameters are within range.
for example
if a pwm is to be generated on a PA13 or PA14 then since the AF for these pins have no timer associated to them therefore a compile time error should occur,
this will be too laborious but will be well worth it if it scales up to all micros
this is similar to assert_params but slightly more specialized

1. implement serial.print type function like arduino with BIN HEX etc,try pointer based arguments to make the call more aesthetic

it was observed today on the stm32f0308 discovery eval board that the code was misbehaving on the MCU, it compiles perfectly and debugs perfectly on the simulator, it should ideally have to do something with the way the startup asssembly file redirects the program control to the main function and the stack pointer at that time.
until now i dont have a clue and shall only be ensuring clean compiles for all the files from now until this issue is closed

interrrupt based transmission should be done and a flush() type function should
be implemented that clears the circular trnsmit buffer and the transmit happens
with the NVIC interrupt of transmit complete (TC)

though C is more realistic since that is what the initial devs used to build upon all the peripherals C++ adds beauty and simplicity, consider moving to c++ now or it may be too late to do it in the future
